I've been busy working on something new. Another way to share origami love with the world... I've been designing some Timeless Crane Origami Merch, and I'm so excited to finally share it with everyone! I've noticed that many of my followers are also fans of origami. My Mobile Making Kit is perfect for anyone who wants to make a mobile with their own origami, but carrying a mobile around in public is not a practical way to let others know how much you love origami.Besides folding when you're out and about, wearing shirts and sweaters, or using stickers are some...

The Bygone is out and my mobile made a spectacular appearance in the film sometime between minutes 57and 62! The scene is magical with the music box playing "All The Pretty Horses," and all the dynamic shots of the mobile as Kip (Graham Phillips) looks for clues in Waniya's room (Sydney Schafer). The film is beautifully made, and you can feel how the story has a special meaning to the Phillips brothers as you watch it. You can get it on DVD or BluRay on Amazon now and see it too! The excitement started back in the winter of 2017, when I got a message...

I had faith that with all these precautions everything would be okay and that I'd see the case in one piece in Dubai. After saying...

(VIDEO IS AT THE BOTTOM) The design for this light fixture originally began with a sketch and rendering from the Rockwell Group in New York. It’s called The Oculus, and I remember thinking it looked like an eye the first time I saw the rendering. In the sketch it’s hard to tell what is hanging from the fixture, but Tom and Nik knew they were supposed to be origami cranes of some sort. So Tom and Nik had to find a suitable source of colorful origami cranes for the light fixture. The first idea was to use plastic cranes in all different...

Back in May of this year I got a message asking how much money I might charge to fold a massive amount of paper cranes, and how long it might take me. I sent a quote and didn't think much of it at the time. Soon after I was in full negotiations with a lighting design company in Dubai called TrueLux. TrueLux had been commissioned to design a light fixture for a new mall in Abu Dhabi - The Galleria Mall Al Maryah Island. They requested a sample of clear colored paper cranes in the four colors I had, and while that was traveling...
